Sorry for the delay on this week's topic guys.
New debates will now be on every friday since thats a little easier to remember.

Well in accordance to the question, of course war in unnecessary. It is a tremendous drain that has very few positive effects if any. Though ive always thoroughly believed that current wars are only fought by the blinded, gullible flag wavers who unknowingly fight not for freedom, but for corporate interest who are only out for monetary means. Current war recruitment standards are based entirely on manipulation of the uneducated. or on the desperate. But in our society there is a massive stigma on people who are anti military, and cant see past "you want dem dirty arabs to beat us!!!" When in reality the war is eating all the taxpayer money, killing innocent people on both sides and glorifying something that should have never happened to begin with. The people are being manipulated into believing so called "just causes" for the slaughter and decimation of largely innocent people.

Of course during vietnam people said the same thing, we knew we had no place in that war and the sole reason we were involved was because of our fear of the communists. but the worst part is we are never told the truth about the causation of these wars. We arent explicitly told that we are fighting for greed and not any honorable cause. Sadly if you tell someone who is pro military these things you are immediately labeled as unpatriotic and ungrateful. But the truth of it all is we havent had a legitimate reason to go to war since WWII. Back then when going to war truly meant you were protecting your family and country, and not just crusading for a bunch of money grubbing corporate assholes. Ive always felt to be a patriot is to truly want to improve your country for its people, that spending trillions on wars is detrimental to the country and we could be using that money to improve our lives rather than destroy them.

It's not unusual that wars are started by people who are scared that the opposition will invade they're home country first. Also sometimes, countries are forced to go to war to protect their own countries from invasion. Invading using war and stopping people who are invading using war are two different things. Of course it depends on whether or not the opposition are willing to have peaceful negotiations about what they want, something that has nowadays been realised to be a better alternative, but unfortunately break down all to often.
